Not in the noblest of the builder's dreams,
But in courageous men of purpose great,
There is the fortress, there the living State.”

Alcaeus of Mytilene

"The Bulwark of the State", as translated by James S. Easby-Smith

“Raise a song for her, O Muse!
The violet-crownèd maiden,
And praise her soft throat's changing hues,
Her low voice, laughter-laden. Sing yet again her thousand charms,
Her eyes entrancing splendour,
Her swarthy cheeks and supple arms
And bosom dark and tender. Yea, sing forevermore of her,
My mistress soft-beguiling,
Fairest of all who are, or were,
My Sappho, sweetly-smiling.”

O maid with honeyed smile!
I fain would tell what is in my breast,
Did shame me not beguile.”
